How to get span value jquery

I'm trying to get spans text by passing the value of span id to the function like this :

function getDetails(testDetailId){
alert(jq("#"+testDetailId).text());
}

And I always get null alerted when the click is invoked :

jq("table tr").click(function(){
var testDetailId = jq(this).attr("id");
getDetails(testDetailId);
});

I use jquery no conflict :

var jq = jQuery.noConflict();

some html :

<span id="2">[{"testId":22,"testPerfReports":[]}]</span>

Any ideas ?

It appears to me that both, the tr element and the span have the same ID.

That could be the problem, IDs have to be unique.

That is because you are capturing the click event of the <TR>. As they are part of a table they do not have the text() function. If you are trying to get the text of the span try doing the following:

jq("table tr").click(function(){
    var concatenatedValues = $.map($('jq(this).find('span').text(), function (text) {
                return option.value;
            }).join(',');

    alert(concatenatedValues);
});
